post your favorite rpg's!

My favorite
Chrono Trigger
FF 3
FF 8

My most hated

Legend of Dragoon (blah, this game left a bad taste in my mouth, if i hear Dart say "MADNESS HERO!" one more time, i'm going to scream.)
7th Saga (the game is fun and challenging, but man... that was the WORST ending i have ever ever seen.)

Favorite RPG ever -- definitely Fallout 1 and 2. Absolutely incredible. The only RPG I've played where your character can be anything or do anything you want. You could be the devil incarnate (ie. stuffing dynamite down kids shorts) or the Savior of the Damned (and an all around nice guy to boot). Plus you could choose which quests if any (aside from the base story) you wanted to do, and do subquests in various orders, etc. etc.

Asheron's Call was also great for an online MMORPG

Also fun -- Chrono Trigger.

Most hated: dunno if there's one I really hate. I'm kinda irritated at Baldurs Gate personally since I'm not familiar with the D&D system, the gameplay seemed really awkward and strange after F1 and F2.

Right on, Tuan Jim!!

Fallout 1 and 2 are definately the best RPGs out there. Personally I hate the whole "Dungeons and Dragons" type setting, so the nuclear-ravaged future of Fallout was a nice change.

I would always play both sides of the law in Fallout, the type of guy would would take a job for a guy, then after being paid for it, sell him out to the cops for even more cash. (Tuan, remember the crim boss in the Hub?)

And of course, any game with DOGMEAT in it gets a from me.

MWoody

Best:
ADOM (I've probably spent a thousand hours playing this game. Nothing I can say is more impressive than that fact.)
Fallout I and II (Good stuff; I was at the FF2 launch party. Aren't I cool? )
FF8 (I dunno. This one just really "clicked" for me.)
Daggerfall (even with all the bugs, you can't beat a traversible game world the size of Great Britain.)

Worst:
Ultima IX (worst control scheme ever, augmented by a DirectX graphics engine with all the power of a drunk hamster on a broken wheel)

Trout

Baldurs Gate- Haven't played 2 yet.
Icewind Dale- ok, so I am a D&D nerd, but I'm just reliving my youth.
Fallout 1+2- The Bloody mess trait is very cool.
Daggerfall- Any game in which you don't have to follow the main plot is genius (even with bugs).


The future of RPG's on the PC is looking very very good. Arcanum, Neverwinter nights, Pool of Radiance, and the new Daggerfall game (can't remember the title). But what will really make these games, is the ability to make your own adventures with built in game editors.

Feneant

Favorite :
FF2, Ultima 6 (in the past)
Everquest and Asheron's Call (I only do MMORPG's now, if it ain't MMORPG, odds are I won't like it)


Worst :
Ultima IX (It was so buggy I couldn't even get the game to start! It hung at the starting movie just before the story)
DIABLO2 (Not even considered an RPG by some, but the worst POS around)

AgtFox

Favorites:

FF6 (Best of the series, was FF3 over here)
FF9 (Second best of the series)
FF7 (The 32-bit Square benchmark entry)
Chrono Trigger (Best story ever)
Chrono Cross (slightly below it's forebearer)
Skies of Arcadia (Sega at the top of their RPG game-present)
Phantasy Star II (Sega at the top of their RPG game-past)
Ultima 6 (Origin's last great Ultima)
Planescape: Torment (I like this so much better than BG)
Fallout 1 and 2 (Best story-based RPG in a long time)

Worst:

FF8 (such a disappointment after 6 and 7)
Legend of Dragoon (some people actually liked this game?)
Beyond the Beyond (Sony's first RPG...it sucked)
I'm sure there are some PC RPGs I can't think of right now

Goblincat

Favorites:

Wasteland
Fallout 1 and 2
Might and Magic I and II
Bard's Tale I and II
Baldur's Gate 1 and 2
FF7
Diablo 1 and 2 (if that counts as an RPG)

Tuan Jim

yep, I'm really looking forward to Arcanum -- i love the mix of fantasy and victorian period. A half-elf sniper w/night vision -- too cool. To quote PVP (www.pvponline.com) "dwarves with guns -- bitching."

Mezzanine

My top 3:

1- Final Fantasy II (SNES)
2- Final Fantasy III (SNES)
3- Xenogears (PS)

There aren't really any RPGs that I hate, but my least favorite would probably be Drakkhen (SNES).

#1. Xenogears, I almost cryed when it was over, the best story line i've ever seen.

#2. Vargant story, I don't know why this game was good it just was. (ARPG)

#3. Legend of Mana, It had short quests that you could play when waiting for something like in between classes, and it was really well drawn.

#4. Valkery profile, Im still playing it but its shaping up to be really great.

#5. Dragon warrior 1, It was my first and it got me hooked on rpgs.

Honorable mention, FF7, FF8, Zelda on GBC, Dragon warrior 2.

Favorites
1) Dragon Warrior - like most it hooked me on RPGs
2) Final Fantasy VII - there may have been better versions, but this one really hooked me back into RPGS in the 32bit era. Cloud is the man.
3) Super Mario RPG - Incredible fun and some of Square's best work. Much better than the Paper Mario sequel.
4) Lunar Silver Star - Made the Sega CD worth owning. PSX version was even better.
5) Shining Force CD - The first Shining Force game I played and one of my favorites
6) Chrono Trigger - The best of all the SNES RPGs
7) Chrono Cross - One of the few sequels that lived up to the high quality of the original.
8) Panzer Dragoon Saga - The best Sega RPG ever.
9) Skies of Arcadia - Great outing for the Dreamcast. Probably as close as we will ever get to another Panzer Dragoon Saga.
10) Thousand Arms - a nice little RPG that broke from the norm and included the popular Japanese dating sim along with the RPG.

Honorable mentions: FF Tactics, Grandia II, Magic Knight Rayearth, Shining Force III, FF IX, FF VI, Lucienne's Quest, and Xenogears to name a few.

Least favorites. Well there a lots of bad RPGs released. Stuff like Evolution didn't really work as well as it should and even Square has put out some games I didn't like such as Legend of Mana, Threads of Fate, and FF VIII. Really too many to mention here.

gcribbs

baldurs gate 1 and 2
icewind dale
diablo 1 and 2
eye of the beholder 1-3
shining force on genesis
beyond the beyond for the psx
Might and Magic 4-6 (7 was ok)
lunar silver star psx

I am sure i missed a bunch. I just can not remember them

Breakfast with Girls

Favorites: Shining Force I and II and Ultima VII are a few games that I love. Of course, I could list all the usual ones... Chrono Trigger, etc., etc.

I'm gonna have to go back and play Fallout 1&2 -- they've been collecting dust ever since I bought them for cheap -- after hearing such great stuff about them here...

My favorite RPG may still be Ultima 3 or 4, though I love Might & Magic 6&7, BG 1&2, and Planetscape...

ABNVet

My favorites are:

FF7
FF8
FF9
Chrono Cross
Vagrant Story
Baldur's Gate 1


Hated:

Legend of Dragoon

Disliked Baldur's Gate 2

stingo

Best:Everquest - a very engrossing addicting experience.

Worst:Everquest - EQ brings out some of the worst sides of people - greed, envy, jealousy - you name it. All from a computer game...

Feneant

LOL!! I have to agree, although it's not that bad for the people. Because you need a credit card to play, you have lot less younger people playing. The next time I play, I'm going to try to get on the test server, I mostly do quests and there I'll have about no people on the server to bother me

RoQuEr

Planescape: Torment is a great game. It was captivating, funny, long, and the art was just beautyful. This was the first RPG based on the AD&D engine that I have actually played to completion.

stingo

Maybe I'll try that as I really enjoy doing the quests as well... What servers (other than test of course) do you play on? Rodcet Nife here...
